JReport provides the web reporting solution that is aimed at easier and faster report creation and design, faster report execution, easier customization, and better presentation style using a newer Rich Internet Application (RIA) Web 2.0 interface. Web reports are viewed using a new interactive viewer called Web Report Studio. Web Report Studio provides a much nicer end user experience with many powerful features for interfacing with a report such as changing parameters without re-running the report.
The data sources that can be used to create web reports are business views that are resources built on top of queries. A business view is similar to a report cube. Report cube dimensions are business view groups and report cube measures are business view aggregations. Create business views when your end users are primarily interested in higher quality presentation style reports. Use report cubes when users are primarily interested in analyzing the data from many dimensions. Both business view and report cube can be built on top of the same query to support both types of users.
In JReport Designer, report developers can create, open and edit web reports. Web reports created on JReport Server can also be downloaded to JReport Designer for further editing.
In this track we will create a business view and a web report based on the business view.
Note: A JReport Live license for both JReport Designer and JReport Server is required in order to perform this track. If you do not have the licenses, please contact your Jinfonet Software account manager to obtain them first.
